Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2007142595A1] The invention relates to a locking device comprising a first and a second locking part (2, 4), wherein the second locking part (4), when the locking parts (2, 4) are brought together, moves in relation to the first locking part (2) in a locking direction (L). The first locking part (2) comprises a locking member (2b), comprising a magnet, and a locking member holder (2a), which supports the locking member (2b) without the locking member (2b) being fixed to the locking member holder (2a). The second locking part (4) comprises an actuating part (4b), the locking member (2b) comprises a contact part (2y). Once the actuating part (4b), when moving in the locking direction (L), has passed the contact part (2y), the contact part (2y) moves into the path of the actuating part (4b), so that the locking member (2b), through bearing contact against the locking member holder (2a) and against the actuating part (4b), can prevent movement of the second locking part (4) in a direction opposite to the locking direction (L). When a force generated by a magnetic field is acted upon by the magnet, the contact part (2y) moves out of the path of the actuating part (4b).
